Lyrics
Show me your eyes
So I can see what you see
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I can feel your heart beat
It bleeds while you breathe
I’m trying to stay strong
I’m trying to hold on
It ain’t enough for me
You are slightly different already from the person who started listening to this song
Can you hear me?
Am I wrong?
I slip some pride into my pocket with a locket of my offspring
And take them with me to change the world with no idea of what I am offering
Harbouring the truths was a lot harder than they seemed at the dock of the bay
Scribbling in a journal full of dreams no longer locked away
But who’s dreams are they?
Whose questions am I asking?
Unmasking the illusions and intrusions that had crashed in
All drive and no relaxing I forgot to factor in important things
And what’s important seems to forge these things
Striving for unattainable goals, goals such as permanence
It’s all flux in a rut constructing dreams out of turbulence
Who are you?
I’m serious I mean really who are you?
See the answers in the why
Are you romancing with a lie
It's not long until we die
It's not long until we die
All alone in the darkness
But I know where my heart is
Where my heart is
Ugly cries, pretty lies
But you’ll never find the truth there
So I must walk alone
I’ll walk alone
The roads less travelled
Become my own
What do you see where your head should be?
You see the world right?
Well what if I was to say that's yours for the taking with less procrastinating
You see you are your surroundings you must be careful what you take in
Like what will you immerse in?
Tell me what is your vision?
What is your version?
What is your why?
What are you purging?
Where are your wounds?
Why are you hurting?
You must feel it to heal it
Not suppress it and keep it
By only treating your symptoms you will always be sick
You must grab that disease I mean like really get hold of it
Like the roots and the shoots I mean like the whole, whole of it
First love your shadow and you’ll reveal that your soul is rich
And pitch yourself to the world for a role that you moulded with
Your own self belief but step one is to greave
Now breathe
Because death comes to us all
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
